Chapter 731: Chapter 729: One Body, Two Souls; Ling Yuan’s Instrument; Only Wants One More Glance at Him

Upon hearing this, Celestial Maiden Yuan revealed a self-mocking bitter smile on her snow-white delicate face.

She said faintly, "Has Young Master Jun ever heard of the Clam People?"

"Clam People?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.

Celestial Maiden Yuan continued, "Clam People are a very peculiar race. They are quite weak, but they have a special ability, which is to nurture pearls within their bodies."

"Therefore, many people rear and enslave Clam People, and when the pearls mature within them, they cut them open to retrieve the pearls."

"Although I am not a Clam Person, my situation is not much different."

"I and Ling Yuan are a pair of dual souls in one body."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes.

A so-called ’dual souls in one body’ means there are two souls within one body.

This is a very rare condition.

Generally speaking, it might occur during the development of a fetus.

Usually, when the baby is born, one of the souls will devour the other to strengthen itself.

However, there are extremely rare instances where the dual souls coexist in one body.

Of course, in such cases, the only way to restore things is to separate out one of the souls.

Ideally, a new body would be created for it.

In the worst-case scenario, it would be completely obliterated.

Evidently, Celestial Maiden Yuan is the former.

Celestial Maiden Yuan smiled, her lips forming an arc, yet it appeared somewhat desolate.

"Sometimes I think it might have been better if I had vanished into thin air from the very start, or if my soul had been extracted and obliterated outright."

"But they didn’t. With the foundation of the Wa Huang Immortal Dynasty, creating a body for me wasn’t a big deal."

"However, because of this, I have to live under Ling Yuan’s enslavement ever since."

Upon hearing Celestial Maiden Yuan’s words, Jun Xiaoyao fell silent.

He knew a little something about it as well.

After a transformation of dual souls in one body, it is possible to form a dominant and a subordinate soul.

Clearly, Ling Yuan is the dominant soul.

Because she not only occupies the main body, but that body is also the extremely rare Wa Huang Sacred Body.

And Celestial Maiden Yuan, who was extracted, is the subordinate soul.

Celestial Maiden Yuan then explained further.

The wonder of dual souls in one body is that the souls can simultaneously cultivate different Cultivation and Martial Arts.

One person is equivalent to two people.

However, there is one point to note.

The Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques cultivated by the subordinate soul can be automatically learned by the dominant soul without conditions.

But the Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques cultivated by the dominant soul can choose whether the subordinate soul should also learn them.

This is why the dominant soul is stronger than the subordinate soul.

"So, you ended up becoming a tool for Ling Yuan?" Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.

Celestial Maiden Yuan nodded, "Yes, everything I cultivate in terms of Techniques and Divine Techniques, Ling Yuan can learn without effort. Everything I do is just to fulfill her."

"I cultivate for her, act as her shadow. When she wants an intelligence network, I join the Divine Maiden Workshop and become a courtesan."

"She discovered that the Snake-man Race’s Tai’e Temple might hold the legacies of Nuwa and Mi Fei, so she sent me to investigate."

"The Ancient Emperor wanted to form an alliance with her. She was unwilling, but under the pressure of the Wa Huang Immortal Dynasty and the Fuxi Immortal Dynasty, she asked me to go." Celestial Maiden Yuan spoke, her tone carrying a sad helplessness.

Jun Xiaoyao nodded, having gained a thorough understanding of everything.

He also understood the relationship between Ling Yuan, Celestial Maiden Yuan, and the Ancient Emperor.

The Wa Huang Immortal Dynasty and the Fuxi Immortal Dynasty wanted to join forces to revive the Immortal Court, and marriage was the best choice.

But Ling Yuan was too proud, or rather she didn’t even consider the Ancient Emperor.

But the alliance of the two Immortal Dynasties required a connection.

So Ling Yuan simply sent Celestial Maiden Yuan.

As dual souls in one body, this was within the acceptable range for the Fuxi Immortal Dynasty.

The Ancient Emperor had no choice but to temporarily accept it.

Unexpectedly, Jun Xiaoyao disrupted the plans of the two Immortal Dynasties.

It could be said that he temporarily shattered the alliance plans of the two Immortal Dynasties.

"The Wa Huang Immortal Dynasty and the Fuxi Immortal Dynasty are among the top-ranked of the Nine Great Immortal Dynasties, and they’ve both ruled as the Ruling Immortal Dynasty."

"If these two Immortal Dynasties unite, they might even gain the support of other Immortal Dynasties." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

He never expected that by casually saving someone, he would disrupt the plans of the two Immortal Dynasties.

"However, the Nine Great Immortal Dynasties are not entirely monolithic, like the Chiyou Immortal Dynasty..."

Jun Xiaoyao had seen the predicament of the Chiyou Immortal Dynasty.

Not completely enslaved, but extremely humiliated and lowly.

If the Immortal Court were reestablished, and the Chiyou Immortal Dynasty couldn’t rise,

Then undoubtedly, they would still be a stepping stone within the Immortal Court.

"Perhaps this is a breakthrough point..." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

Celestial Maiden Yuan explained some things to Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao finally understood why Celestial Maiden Yuan said she was a fish that couldn’t escape the river of destiny.

Being Ling Yuan’s shadow was her destiny!

"Isn’t there really any way to escape?" Jun Xiaoyao furrowed his brow slightly.

"Is Young Master Jun worried about me? I’m so happy..." Celestial Maiden Yuan smiled sweetly.

She suddenly placed her jade hand on Jun Xiaoyao’s slightly furrowed brow, smoothing it out.

"Young Master, I don’t want to burden you because of me," she said.

"No matter where I hide, Ling Yuan will eventually find out. There’s no escaping this." Celestial Maiden Yuan said.

She lowered her eyes and brows, like a clear stream, seemingly fully accepting her fate.

Jun Xiaoyao remained silent.

For a long while, he finally spoke, "No, perhaps there’s still a way."

Celestial Maiden Yuan raised her ashen head, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

"Suppressing Ling Yuan, isn’t that enough?" Jun Xiaoyao said casually.

This statement left Celestial Maiden Yuan momentarily stunned.

Suppress Ling Yuan?

Those words were light, but who was Ling Yuan?

The Wa Huang Immortal Emperor’s Daughter, with the Wa Huang Sacred Body, and recently gaining the Wa Huang Celestial Heart Technique found by Celestial Maiden Yuan in the Tai’e Temple, her power soaring.

It’s fair to say that Ling Yuan is now one of the most powerful Supreme Forbidden Celestial Pride on the Ultimate Ancient Road!

Even the Ancient Emperor couldn’t suppress Ling Yuan.

If he could, Ling Yuan wouldn’t be so indifferent to him.

"What, you don’t believe it?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

Celestial Maiden Yuan smiled, "Of course, I believe. But I have a small request, I wonder if Young Master Jun can agree?"

"What request?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"Can you accompany me for a while, even if it’s just your Dharma Body? I want to dance for you, and see the vast mountains and rivers with you," she said.

After a moment of silence, Jun Xiaoyao nodded.

His Dharma Body would soon dissipate anyway, it was a fulfillment of Celestial Maiden Yuan’s wish.

After receiving a positive response, Celestial Maiden Yuan’s smile was brilliant.

She suddenly leaned close to Jun Xiaoyao’s ear, whispering softly, "Do you still want to see me... wear stockings?"

Jun Xiaoyao was also stunned for a moment.

Is he that kind of person?

Of course he is!

Celestial Maiden Yuan giggled, at this moment, it seemed she had unlocked all her shackles.

She laughed like a child, her laughter pure and innocent.

In fact, Celestial Maiden Yuan hadn’t told Jun Xiaoyao one more thing.

That was, Ling Yuan held the power of life and death over her.

Celestial Maiden Yuan didn’t know if, after learning she was leaving with Jun Xiaoyao, Ling Yuan would kill her in a fit of anger.

"I hope that moment comes a little slower, even if just a day, an hour, a quarter, or even just a moment longer."

"I just want to see him again..."

Looking at the man standing tall and graceful in the starry sky, as elegant as the wind, Celestial Maiden Yuan’s beautiful eyes overflowed with starlight, filled with infinite longing.
